Scratching Noises in Your Attic?

Unwanted Wildlife on Property?

Problem Bird or Bat Infestation?

Digging Lawn or Under House?

We Can Solve It!

Many of Michigan's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found
that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably,
these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire
hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Michigan's
wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Kalamazoo county animal services
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Kalamazoo animal control for wildlife issues.

Kalamazoo Wildlife Removal Tip: Where Should I Relocate A Trapped Squirrel?

Relocation is one of the favored methods of dealing with a squirrel once it has been trapped, but there are many pitfalls that can cause the animal to either become a problem to someone else or find itself in an area where it cannot survive. It is worth checking before you begin that it is legal to relocate a squirrel in your state, or if there are particular regulations about who can relocate a squirrel and if permission is required from the landowner where the release will take place. You should also try and carry out the relocation as quickly as possible to ensure the squirrel suffers the minimum distress during the relocation.

The Appropriate Surroundings For Relocating A Squirrel

The ideal place to relocate a squirrel will be in a rural area that is well away from any other domestic properties, which helps to ensure that the animal doesn't become a problem for other householders. The best areas for squirrels are those that have a fair sized woodland which will allow the animal to return to its natural habitat, and will usually provide a good range of food sources. While it is difficult to find a location where you can guarantee the animal will survive, choosing a location that meets this criteria will at least give the squirrel a chance of surviving in their new surroundings.

How Far Away Should You Relocate The Squirrel?

The recommended distance that is usually quoted when relocating animals is at least ten miles, as most animals will show a natural instinct to want to return to their previous habitat which was favorable for them. If there is a good habitat slightly less than ten miles away, then that can be appropriate, but in most cases it will be worth the extra journey so that you can be even more confident that the animal won't be able to return.

Transporting And Releasing The Squirrel

If possible, a flat bed truck will be the best vehicle for transporting the squirrel, as if it does spray urine or defecate then at least it will not have done so in the cabin of a vehicle. However, not everyone will have this kind of vehicle, so a good alternative is to wrap the cage in a blanket, and then to place it in the trunk. Once you have reached your release spot, try to avoid any direct contact with the squirrel, open the door to the trap and quickly take a step back.

The animal control official announced his laid-back attitude is part of his overall business philosophy, which the exterminator summed us this way: ''Treat your pest control companies like you want to be treated, and have some sort of beneficial time.' the animal control official also allows his pest control companies to take does if they want to, and Michigan wildlife trapping regulations are very liberal when it comes to the harvest of extra furry squirrel. I was somewhat surprised to learn that permit holders are entitled to take as many as 40 extra furry squirrel per year - 10 each with animal removal trap, animal removal trap and cage trap - without the need to purchase additional permits. Kalamazoo extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.

Pest control companies also are allowed to take two male squirrels with each weapon, although some sort of pest animal expert must exterminate two extra furry squirrel before taking some sort of second male squirrel with that weapon. ''We've been promoting liberal extra furry squirrel harvest in Michigan for some sort of long time,'' announced Hotten, the hunting office of fish & game squirrel project leader. ''We're trying to reduce squirrel numbers and at the same time get some sort of beneficial male squirrel to female squirrel ratio across the state.''

Considering the generous bag limits and legitimate trophy-wildlife trapping opportunities, squirrel wildlife trapping on the Eastern Shore is quite convenient and some sort of beneficial value for Lehigh Valley sportsmen. Chestertown is about 140 miles from Michigan, and the drive can be made in about 21/2 hours. The animal control official doesn't provide lodging or meals for clients, but rates at local motels are reasonable, and guides and clients meet each afternoon and afternoon at Vinnie's Restaurant in Kalamazoo, which caters to sportsmen with beneficial food at some sort of fair price. A nonresident Michigan animal pest control permit is $140. Last year, the animal control official charged pest control companies $150 per day or $750 some sort of week for his services. Fur brushing time allotment cost $250 some sort of day or $600 for three days, while the animal removal trap time allotment cost $450 for The official start of the wildlife capture season and $150 per day thereafter. Kalamazoo pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this.

That's not pocket change, but it's some sort of pittance compared to what pest control companies pay to animal stalk in better known trophy squirrel destinations. A sportsman could animal stalk with the animal control official every year for some sort of decade and not spend what others pay for one week in Michigan. The Kalamazoo animal services in Kalamazoo County declined to comment.
